Yall don’t even try. Make up all the excuses you want. I see how little the majority give a fuck about giving money to bezos or whoever if a product of consumption is right there within your grasp.

What the hell you talking about? The person you're responding to is correctly pointing out that Amazon has some awfully anti-competition rules and a lot of their sellers can not legally sell for less than they do on Amazon, even though Amazon gets a cut. No one is "making excuses," and no one is happy about it, it's just a reality.

If I didn't try, how would I know that many manufacturers only have Amazon stores?

Or that even if you order directly from their site, the order is still fulfilled by Amazon. My partner actually don't try any more because we've recently given up after trying for too long, paying more, and still ending up giving money to Amazon.

Don't fucking blame us for billionaires rigging the system.
